Wonka director Paul King debunks a popular theory surrounding Charlie and the Chocolate Factory‘s titular character. The Paddington director’s 2023 movie visited the years preceding the events of Roald Dahl’s beloved 1964 children’s novel, exploring how Timothée Chalamet’s eponymous chocolatier made his name. Receiving critical acclaim, Wonka became a financial success upon its release in December 2023, earning award nominations and becoming the eighth-highest grossing feature of the year.
